As far as I know there is only red or black... Here is the requested photo of a factory painted vs the one I painted.
Factory is on the left, Russian IN-12 is on the right. Used the front elements since they are easier to see. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-slLiMH_xwk8/VimELabWqcI/AAAAAAAAAOo/Rh5dxd_CBM4/s1600/IMAG00003%2B%255B342607%255D.jpg> The three next to each other is unpainted, single coat, and double coat from left to right. <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-slLiMH_xwk8/VimELabWqcI/AAAAAAAAAOo/Rh5dxd_CBM4/s1600/IMAG00003%2B%255B342607%255D.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-rFIlouGiyj0/VimEZM5LoSI/AAAAAAAAAOw/FeUTKpALzrY/s1600/IMAG00006%2B%255B342609%255D.jpg> <https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-C0HD9Tyblkg/VimEcUlhHPI/AAAAAAAAAO4/75r80eMI0A0/s1600/IMAG00005%2B%255B342608%255D.jpg> On Thursday, October 22, 2015 at 8:47:19 AM UTC-6, Terry S wrote: > > Sounds like a good paint for repainting neon sign tubes as well.... what > other colors did you find? > > Terry > > On Wednesday, October 21, 2015 at 8:43:56 AM UTC-5, Kyle Jones wrote: > >> >> I'm new here, but thought I would share something I found a few weeks ago. >> >> I noticed when people ask about painting nixies red there is a lot of >> talk about dipping them and such but I found a spray that is working >> wonders.
